Proposal Planning and Photography!

💍 Planning to Propose at River’s Edge?

First of all… congratulations.

If you’ve found your way to this page, chances are you’re ready to ask one of the most important questions of your life, you just need a solid plan (and maybe a little help pulling it off without giving anything away).

River’s Edge has quietly become the setting for unforgettable proposals; private, romantic, and beautifully simple.

From discreet photography hidden in the trees, to coordinating florals and luxury picnic setups, we'll help you design a moment that feels effortless, meaningful, and completely personal to the two of you.

You focus on the question.

We'll take care of the details.

How It Works

Planning a proposal can feel like a lot, especially when you’re trying to keep it a surprise.

Here’s how we make it simple:

1️⃣ You Reach Out

Send me a message once you’ve booked your stay (or even before). We’ll talk through your vision, your partner’s personality, and what kind of moment would feel most meaningful for the two of you, private and simple, or full fairytale.

2️⃣ We Build a Plan

Together, we’ll choose the perfect location on the property, the time of day, and any added touches like florals or a styled picnic setup. I’ll help you think through the details so nothing feels rushed or awkward.

You’ll know exactly where to stand.

Exactly when to drop to one knee.

And exactly where I’ll be hiding.

3️⃣ The Big Moment

On the day of the proposal, I’ll be in position ahead of time, discreetly capturing the entire moment as it unfolds, the nerves, the surprise, the reaction, and of course… the “YES.”

4️⃣ After the Question

Once the initial excitement settles, we’ll take a few relaxed portraits around the property while you’re still glowing. No stiff posing, just natural, joyful, newly-engaged energy.

You leave with memories.

And photographs that let you relive it forever.

Proposal Options

No two couples are the same, so we offer a few thoughtfully designed ways to make the moment feel natural, meaningful, and beautifully unforgettable.


✨ Option 1 – The Full Fairytale Surprise

You head out for an afternoon adventure, perhaps completing the River’s Edge Adventure Quest, while we quietly get to work.

The cabin (or a carefully chosen outdoor location) is transformed with florals, rose petals, and a styled luxury picnic. Every detail is thoughtfully prepared.

At a pre-arranged time, you return.

I’ll already be in position, discreetly hidden, capturing the moment as it unfolds; the nerves, the surprise, the question… and the “YES.”

This option is perfect if you want a cinematic reveal and maximum impact.


📸 Option 2 – The “Just a Photo Shoot” Plan

This one is equal parts clever and romantic.

We schedule a couples session during your stay, which means she’ll feel prepared, dressed beautifully, and completely photo-ready. We can shoot right here on the property, at the waterfall, or at another meaningful location.

At a pre-planned moment during the session, you drop to one knee.

She thinks it’s just a photo shoot.

You know it’s the moment.

And here’s where it gets even better,

If we choose to photograph off-property, our friends at Laizee Picnics can transform the cabin (or a forest location) while we’re away. When you return, you’ll step into a fully styled romantic picnic setting and can spend the rest of the afternoon celebrating privately.


This option is perfect if you want her to look and feel her absolute best, while still keeping the proposal a surprise.


🌿 Option 3 – The Quiet & Intimate Moment

Not every proposal needs petals and production.

If you’d prefer something deeply personal and understated, we can choose a beautiful corner of the property, plan the timing carefully, and let the moment unfold naturally.

I’ll position myself discreetly nearby to capture it all, then we’ll take a few relaxed engagement portraits while the excitement is still fresh.

Simple. Meaningful. Just the two of you.


📸 What’s Included

Every proposal package includes thoughtful planning, discreet photography, and beautiful images to remember the moment forever.

✔️ Pre-Proposal Planning

We’ll connect ahead of time to plan the details, location, timing, positioning, and any special touches. You’ll know exactly where to stand and when to move, so nothing feels uncertain in the moment.

✔️ Discreet Proposal Coverage

I’ll be in position ahead of time, capturing the full story as it unfolds, the anticipation, the question, the reaction, and the celebration.

✔️ Engagement Portraits After the “Yes”

Once the excitement settles, we’ll take relaxed portraits while you’re still glowing. Natural. Joyful. Authentic.

✔️ 15 Social-Ready Digital Images

You’ll receive up to 15 beautifully edited, web-sized images perfect for sharing your big news online.

✨ Preserve the Full Story

After your gallery is delivered, you’ll have the option to upgrade to high-resolution digital files, professional artwork, or a custom-designed engagement album.

And here’s the part couples love,

If you choose to order an album, you’re not limited to just 15 images.

You can include all of your favorite moments from the session, telling the complete story from nerves… to knee… to “YES.”

Because some moments deserve more than a post, they deserve pages.

📖 The Engagement Album Experience

For couples who want to preserve the full story, a custom-designed engagement album is available.

Each album is thoughtfully designed to tell your proposal from beginning to end, from quiet anticipation to the moment you hear “yes,” and the celebration that follows.

Your album is handcrafted in Italy using fine art materials and heirloom-quality printing. It is presented in a custom wooden keepsake box with an engraved lid, a timeless piece designed to be opened and remembered for decades to come.

And because this is your story in its entirety…

All high-resolution digital images from your session are included complimentary with any album purchase.

You keep the pages.

You keep the files.

You keep the moment.

Some beginnings deserve more than a swipe on a screen.

They deserve something you can hold in your hands.


🔒 Keeping It a Surprise

Planning a proposal comes with one major challenge:

How do you pull it off without giving it away?

Here’s how we keep everything discreet and stress-free:

• All planning communication can be done via text, phone or email, whatever feels safest for you.

• We coordinate timing and subtle cues ahead of time so nothing feels obvious.

• I arrive early and position myself out of sight before the moment begins.

• If we’re doing a styled setup, everything is completed while you’re away so there’s no hint beforehand.

• If we’re using the “photo session” plan, I guide the session naturally so the proposal feels seamless and unexpected.

And because we personally greet every River’s Edge guest upon arrival, we’ll also have the opportunity to quietly confirm any last-minute details in person, without raising suspicion.

You won’t look awkward.

You won’t feel rushed.

And you won’t have to improvise.

You focus on the question.

I’ll handle the rest.
